Edward studied Susan who was just inches away from him, and despite the fact that she looked very composed on the surface just like when she was still working, her eyes still gave her away.
Deep down, she was completely flustered, and Edward didn’t know how to interpret her emotion at the moment. However, something flashed through his heart as he took in her flustered look.
He approached Susan and pulled her into his embrace while saying, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”
After saying that, he looked upwards to check the time on the clock before announcing, “Alright, we have to go downstairs now. I will be there for you.”
Susan nodded but she knew that she could no longer address Edward as her husband so casually anymore. Although her hand was being held by Edward, she could feel beads of sweat emerging from her palms.
When she reached downstairs, all the other family members of the Ford family were already huddled around the dining table.
When Ruben saw that Susan and Edward were finally here, he introduced them to Kendra and Jarvis, “Kendra, I have finishing introducing my other family members, and this person here is my younger brother and his name is Edward, and this woman is my sister-in-law, and her name is…”
Obviously, Ruben couldn’t recall Susan’s name.
Edward added faintly, “Susan.”
“Oh, right. Susan… Susan.”
Susan looked at them and feigned ignorance especially when she laid eyes on Kendra as she nodded. Despite her best efforts to act normally, she still couldn’t bring herself to look into Jarvis’ eyes.
“This is your new sister-in-law, and you can call her Kendra. This young one here is my son. His name is Jarvis.”
Ruben was introducing his family with a smirk on his face.
Edward simply nodded at them before taking his place around the dining table and started to eat.
Due to Logan’s presence, the atmosphere surrounding their family gathering this time was strangely solemn and silent.
The only thing out of place was Edward’s attitude towards Susan. Today, he was very attentive to Susan’s needs. Normally, Susan had to remove the shell of the prawns and sent food his way, but Edward was the one doing all that today.
The old man finally retired to his room the moment their family dinner ended.
Susan wanted to find a chance to get some fresh air, so she immediately headed to the courtyard.
Unfortunately for her, when she had just reached the courtyard, a female voice rang out behind her, “Susan, I have totally underestimated you. I didn’t think that you were capable of infiltrating into the Ford family.”
